Female General And Eldest Princess

Lin Wanyue followed Li Xian and looked at the furnishings in the hall. The floor of the entire hall was paved with striking black floor tiles, and a red blanket had been spread since entering the door, extending all the way to the front of the big case on the high platform. , On both sides of the red carpet, there is a pair of Changxin palace lanterns placed opposite each other every five steps.

There are two rows of food tables behind the palace lantern, and some of the tables are already filled with people, while others are still empty.

Suddenly, Lin Wanyue keenly noticed that there was a group of eyes looking at this side. She raised her eyes and saw a young man with stubble sitting behind the second table on the right, holding a wine bottle with a bad expression on his face. Staring right here.

After Lin Wanyue met Chu Wang Li Xuan's eyes briefly, she looked away.

Li Zhu walked straight towards the high platform, while Li Xian and Lin Wanyue were led by the eunuch to the row on the left.

This palace banquet was mainly to celebrate Li Xian's safe return, so Li Xian's position was arranged in front of the first table on the left, opposite Qi Wang Li Zhen.

"Commander Lin, Your Majesty ordered that you are a meritorious official, and I grant you to sit beside His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Wanyue bowed towards the high empty seat, and then followed her father-in-law to sit upright behind the small case next to Li Xian.

The case in front of Lin Wanyue is only half the size of Li Xian's, and the case is slightly behind.

"His Royal Highness Prince Yong is here, Prince Pei is here, and the Second Princess is here!"

Lin Wanyue followed the prestige, and saw a burly young man rushing in at the door, followed by a boy in a fancy dress who looked slightly older than Li Zhu, and a young girl who came in last.

Li Xian's soft voice came from next to my ear: "The first one to come in is Prince Yong's brother Li Ting, born of Concubine Shu. The younger prince is Pei'er, twelve years old, and Huan'er is a brother of the same milk. , are all born by Empress Concubine De. The last princess is Yan'er, who is fourteen years old, and is a sibling of Chu Wangxiong."

Lin Wanyue nodded, and Li Xian continued to speak to Lin Wanyue in a low voice: "Sitting directly opposite us is Brother Qi Li Zhen, born of the Xian Concubine Empress. Brother Wang is the most favored by his father, with tens of thousands of households, he is the highest among all the vassal kings. Brother Qi is famous outside, with nine thousand households in the town, and his father entrusts him with military power. Brother Yong is brave and good at fighting. A few days ago Uncle lost the battle, Brother Yong has been recommending himself to lead the army, but was refuted by the father."

Lin Wanyue nodded, silently keeping what Li Xian said in her heart, since she has made up her mind to follow the path Li Xian suggested her to take, she must not keep her ears to the outside world as before. Lin Wanyue knew that Li Xian would not talk nonsense to her at this juncture, even if she couldn't understand Li Xian's intentions at this moment, it would be good to learn more...

"Pei'er has seen Miss Huang!"

As soon as Lin Wanyue raised her head, the prince Li Pei had already walked up to Li Xian and bowed respectfully to Li Xian.

"Pei'er doesn't need to be polite, I haven't seen Pei'er growing taller in a few days."

"Pei'er congratulates sister Huang for her safe return. Brother Huan is sick and cannot attend the banquet today. Pei'er apologizes to sister Huang for brother Huan."

Hearing this, Li Xian smiled softly: "Pei'er doesn't have to be like this, I know Huan'er's temperament, if he comes, it will be a surprise."

"So, Pei'er will be seated first."

After speaking, Li Pei saluted Li Xian again, then turned around and sat down behind the case next to Li Yan.

"Royal sister!"

Lin Wanyue followed the prestige, and saw that it was Li Xuan, the King of Chu who was looking at her just now, who was yelling.

"Brother Chu."

"Royal sister, Pingyang Marquis Prince Li Zhong returned to the capital together with Royal sister, why did Royal sister return safe and sound, and Prince Zhong's whereabouts are still unknown?"

Hearing this, Lin Wanyue frowned. At this time, Lin Wanyue had a very bad impression of the King of Chu. Whether it was the expressions that the King of Chu saw them when they first entered the hall, or the unpleasant questions at this time, they all seemed to be indifferent. It made Lin Wanyue very disgusted.

As an elder brother, it is a great fortune for my younger sister to be able to return safely. Even if I don't say a few words of comfort, I should never ask such a question...

Before Li Xian could speak, Li Zhu, who was sitting in the high position, couldn't sit still, and retorted: "Brother Chu, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that I am not as noble as a little prince of the Marquis's family?" ?”

"Heh, why did the prince say this? This king is just asking out of curiosity, little Marquis Mansion? If the prince's words are known to the Marquis of Pingyang, I'm afraid it will make him sad. Hero, as the crown prince, it’s fine if he doesn’t care about the son of a hero, why is he so mean?”

"Brother Chu said very well. If His Royal Highness lives in the East Palace, he is under one person and above ten thousand people. We, the small prince's mansion, the king's mansion, naturally cannot be in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Wanyue turned her head to look, and found that this gangster was Yong Wang Li Ting.

Li Zhu was sitting on a high seat, her face was flushed from suffocation, and her chest heaved. It was obvious that she was choked with anger, but she couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Lin Wanyue turned her head to look at Li Xian beside her, and saw that Li Xian had her eyes downcast and her face was expressionless.

Obviously, there is no intention to fight back.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wanyue felt as if her heart was blocked by something. Recalling what Li Xian said to herself at the Tongfu Inn that night, Lin Wanyue still had some disbelief at first: How could the princess and prince from the main palace Will life be difficult at every step?Until seeing the scene just now with her own eyes, Lin Wanyue completely believed it!

Although Li Zhu is young, he is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. Although it is a palace banquet within the royal family at this time, there are also many servants and maidservants serving. With so many eyes watching, these two vassal kings don't care about Li Zhu at all. In my eyes, let alone Li Xian...

"Princess……"

Lin Wanyue softly called Li Xian, Li Xian turned her head and gave Lin Wanyue a relieved look.

Lin Wanyue looked at the expression on Li Xian's face that she was used to, and felt more and more uncomfortable.

Qi Wang Li Zhen played with the wine bottle in his hand, quietly looked at the scene in front of him, and thought to himself: Stupid.

Chu Wang Li Xuan turned his head and saw Qi Wang Li Xuan was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, gritted his teeth fiercely, snorted heavily at Qi Wang, and then stopped looking at him.

Qi Wang Li Xuan shook his head with a light smile, thinking in his heart: If you want to think about the throne like this, King Yong is fine, you are a brave and foolish man, you Li Xuan are so out of control now?Don't you think about it, why did the emperor not come?I'm afraid I have arranged eyeliner to observe your performance...

Thinking of this, King Qi glanced approvingly at Li Xian who bowed her head. It's a pity that a woman with such scheming means, if she was born as a man, she must be the best candidate for the crown prince. If someone like Li Xian becomes the crown prince, The vassal kings below did not dare to be so presumptuous, but it saved him a lot of trouble, what a pity, what a pity!

"Your Majesty is here!" With the loud chorus of the eunuch in charge, Li Zhao walked into the hall.

"My son, see the royal father."

"Grassman, see Your Majesty."

Li Zhao strode into the main hall and waved his sleeves: "No courtesy, today's palace banquet, there are no outsiders." After speaking, he walked to a high position and sat down on the big case next to Li Zhu.

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

It wasn't until Li Zhao took his seat that everyone thanked him and sat down again.

"Today's palace banquet is mainly to celebrate Xian'er's safe return. The widows withdrew the speaker, and our family is talking together."

"Xian'er, you are the eldest son of the widow, tell me, who do you think will assassinate Xian'er?"

"Yes."

Li Zhen wanted to stand up from his seat to answer, but Li Zhao stopped him: "Today's family banquet, there is no need to be formal, you just sit and talk."

"Yes."

"Return to Father..."

Li Zhen turned his head and glanced at King Chu Li Xuan who was sitting next to him. Feeling King Qi's gaze, King Chu's face was very unnatural. Seeing this, King Qi curled his mouth, turned his head, and continued: "My son thinks that the imperial sister may be implicated..."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"The emperor's sister has a very good temperament, and she has lived in the palace since she was a child. This is the first time she has gone out. Presumably, no one will have any grudges against the emperor's sister, but Li Zhong, the prince of the Pingyang Marquis, is different. Maybe it is Someone wanted Li Zhong's life, and accidentally hurt the emperor's sister, and I heard that Li Zhong, the prince of Pingyang Marquis, is still missing, but the emperor's sister escaped unharmed, which also confirmed my conjecture .”

"Oh? King Chu, what do you think?"

"My son... my son thinks what brother Qi Wang said is very true."

"Well, King Yong, what about you?"

"My son also thinks what brother Qi Wang said is right."

"If this is the case, that would be the best. The abominable Li Zhong almost caused the widow's favorite jewel to be in danger. If he doesn't come back this time, he deserves it. Even if he does come back, the widow will punish him severely!"

King Qi propped his chin and looked sideways at King Chu beside him. Seeing that King Chu's face was cloudy, King Qi curled his mouth: Fortunately, he is not too stupid. The emperor who understands is knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

"Before the banquet starts, I want to reward someone first. Where is Lin Feixing?"

"The little guy is here!"

Hearing Li Zhao suddenly read her name, Lin Wanyue's heart tightened involuntarily, she got up from her seat, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed respectfully: "Little Lin Feixing, see Your Majesty."

"Retire without courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Wanyue got up from the ground, lowered her head and stood there, waiting for Li Zhao to speak, but she didn't want Li Zhao to say again: "Young man, raise your head and let me see."
